Ideas for Groups that sail together

[suzimack]

Our dear friends organized a cruise for a multi-genrationalgroup of about 20people..we did not know everyone at the onset..here is what we did..We agreed that each night we would move about the 3 tables given to us to share different experiences..that worked out great!! We did a Yankee Christmas exchange where during the course of the cruise everyone had to 'find' something that could be wrapped and then "picked " by another member of the group..there are web sites explaining this process..it was hilarious..we met in a club before dinner to dothis...each night the cordial of the day was purchased by one famly and we all toasted the day! Expensive perhaps but fun nonetheless! and finally the host family had picture frames engraved with cruise 2003 on them, packed and schlepted them onto the ship..the took a picture of all of us on the first formal night and when in port had it processed into 5x7 prints, put theminto frames and gave them out to each family the final night..we have it on our hallway table and it gives us great joy!!
